Looks like the road might be a bit wet on Friday morning, but I am NOT complaining

Rained moved to saterday now .... 

 

If wet again like SBCT i'll be taking the fixy and doing social ride.

No sure if they will be using the same format as last year?

 

I'm seeded in B and certainly don't belong there if that's the case.  Last year the median B batch finisher came within 10% of the winner's time.

 

Otherwise my guess is they are going for fewer but larger groups.

[Wannabe]

I suspect entries is not what was expected.

 

Online Entry process has been extended to 09h00 tomorrow morning.

Not quite sure how they are going to do the seeding, though.

I was A with ~19 seeding last year so if you seeding ~20 should be B-ish i think

Currently 23.4

B sounds right then.   First 90km is flatish, so just suck wheel and save energy for the last 2 bumps

Faarkin' last 2 bumps...

[Skubarra]

Faarkin' last 2 bumps...

 

2 bumps.... Let no one ever accuse hub land of being overly dramatic...

 

But I agree with Karman, except for $ , easy to sit in the bunch for the first 90km and save all the energy you can for those 2 "bumps"

"except for $"

Ay, there’s the rub. It's my first race in many moons back with the big boys...
